What they say…
Producer Ravirajan: I have been waiting for a good break in the industry for 20 years. When I met my old friend Thiruvengadam, he introduced his son T. Samidurai, who was trying to direct a film. Samidurai not only let me produce this film but also gave me a chance to play the villain in it. The film has come out well.
Director T. Samidurai: I used to watch two to three films a day while in college. After graduation, when I failed to get a break in the film industry, I started making short films. I worked as an assistant to directors Raghava Lawrence and Manoj Kumar. It was then I met producer Ravirajan. He liked the script of Kurumbukara Pasanga and the rest fell into place in no time.
Hero Sanjeev: I used to participate in dance programmes. When I was doing a reality show on Kalaignar TV, I was spotted by directors who wanted me to work in their films. That’s how I ended up acting in Kulir 100 Degrees, Neeyum Naanum, Saghakkal and now Kurumbukara Pasanga . This film will surely make me a known face in the industry. I am currently working on Nanbargal Kavanathirkku.
Music director Arul Raj: Born in Reddypalayam in Thiruvallur District, I had my schooling at Pannur, 8 km away. As I was interested in music, I learnt to play the guitar from Jagadish, Venkatesh and Abdul Sattar. After finishing my Grade 8 in Western Classical guitar, I worked for six months at the Dhanraj Music School run by maestro Ilaiyaraja.
